The sake brewery will be located at Route 9 and St. Andrews Road, about a mile from the CIA campus. Construction is expected to begin this spring, with an opening in early 2019, according to the office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The Asahi Shuzo brewery will be the first sake producer in the Hudson Valley and the largest in the state, Cuomo's office said. It will have a capacity of up to 332,640 gallons of sake a year. The state's first sake brewery, Brooklyn Kura, opened in New York City in January.

As part of the partnership, the Culinary Institute of America, one of the country;s most prestigious cooking schools, will "develop curriculum, certification programs, workshops, and special events and tastings," the governor's office said.

"The CIA and Asahi Shuzo will also seek research and development opportunities to further identify ways in which sake and the by-product from the sake-making process can be used to expand food flavors and culinary techniques, along with the potential for new lines of sake-based products," the governor's statement said.
